Kenny Chesney is currently recording new music and is producing a new line of merchandise in an effort to aid victims of Hurricane Irma.

Chesney shared two photos of himself in the studio "recording music to help the Virgin Islands" on Instagram. "In the studio recording music to help the Virgin Islands. For those able to help, the link to donate to the #loveforlovecity foundation is in my bio. We also launched foundation merch in the official store at kennychesney.com. #hurricaneirma #hurricane #support," one caption reads.

Chesney himself owns a home on the Caribbean island of St. John.

"I've never been in war, but the devastation, the people's faces in a place I know by heart have left me feeling helpless," Chesney writes in an open letter to his fans. "It's total devastation . . . "I want to enlist my friends to figure out the best ways to make a difference, to help in whatever ways, small or larger, that we can. And I know the No Shoes Nation is mighty. They've dug in before and made a difference."
